**** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION ****
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Very toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative
effects.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation and possible burns. May cause chemical
conjunctivitis and corneal damage.
Skin:
Causes severe skin irritation and possible burns. May cause skin
rash (in milder cases), and cold and clammy skin with cyanosis or
pale color.
Ingestion:
May cause liver and kidney damage. May cause perforation of the
digestive tract. May cause cardiac disturbances. May cause central
nervous system effects. May cause blood abnormalities. May cause
systemic effects. Causes digestive tract irritation with possible
burns.
Inhalation:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Aspiration may lead to pulmonary
edema. May cause cardiac damage. May cause blood changes. May cause
systemic effects. Causes respiratory tract irritation with possible
burns. Inhalation at high concentrations may cause CNS depression
and asphixiation.
Chronic:
May cause liver and kidney damage. Effects may be delayed.
**** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES ****
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid
immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
Ingestion:
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert,
rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply
artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device
such as a bag and a mask.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
**** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ****
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Vapors may
accumulate in confined spaces Contact with metals may evolve
flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Contact
with water forms corrosive vapors. Non-combustible, substance itself
does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating,
corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Runoff from fire control or dilution
water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers. For large fires, use water
spray, fog or alcohol-resistant foam. For small fires, use carbon
dioxide, dry chemical, dry sand, or alcohol-resistant foam. Most
foams will react with the material and release corrosive/toxic
gases. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES ****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth),
then place in suitable container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and
ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide
ventilation.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or
inhale. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse.
Discard contaminated shoes.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
**** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION ****
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or
local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the
permissible exposure limits.
